What a fantastic car and definately a suitable replacement for the M5 and after 5 days i am extremely pleased with her. I had planned to get a 123d, but the one i found had front end damage and the 325d popped up and a deal was done.

Has anyone done a short shift change to the 325d's using BMW parts? There is no direct performance kit, but will others work as it is a little loose, not bad, but i like no movement when in gear.

I think rear darkline kit, performance grille and tints, with a set of performance side skirts and wheels and she will be perfect! As well as the DPF replacement and remap!

I did fancy a 123d as i was looking for performance, but economy when needed, well the other way round really. The 123d was found to have front end damage, so put a holt to the purchase of it.

The 325d just popped up, was an M Sport (need the supportive seats) in manual which is hard to find and to be honest while looking at it sitting outside my unit i am glad the 123d had damage as i do like the look for the touring.
